GIA to Open New London Campus
Classes will begin in August at GIA’s new Canary Wharf location.

The new GIA School of Gemology and Jewelry Arts campus is currently enrolling students, with classes slated to begin in August.
A grand opening event will take place in the fall, with open house days on Sept. 4, 9, and 12.
“GIA takes great pride in providing premier education through our programs. Our new London campus will allow us to further advance our mission to ensure confidence in gems and jewelry by making education more globally accessible and offering the highest quality gem and jewelry education,” said GIA President and CEO Pritesh Patel.
The new London campus offers increased capacity and brings the GIA Jewelry Design & Technology program to London for the first time.
“I am looking forward to the opportunities, growth, and community building the new campus will bring,” said GIA U.K. Education Director Mehdi Saadian.
“GIA students will experience a new, modern, and centrally located campus. London’s Canary Wharf is a hub for high-end retail, providing students with a valuable real-world setting for observing modern jewelry merchandising and trends.”
GIA’s London school was established in 2002 and is accredited by the British Accreditation Council and Independent Schools Inspectorate.
